Toe rings are back! Here’s the best ones to shop now

In a country where summer is a year-long season, sandals aren’t exactly new discovery. While that shoe choice may not be a controversial topic, the latest jewellery trend revival might be: the toe ring. I’m talking the kind with rocks that you put on your ring finger to say “I’m engaged!”, but instead worn on feet and is saying a whole different thing.

From the runways of Burberry and Rabanne to the feet of Rihanna, and with one famous fashion blogger, Leandra Cohen, taking it to her 1.2m Instagram followers announcing that it’s officially a ‘toe ring summer’, it might actually just be.

There is something about rocking a diamond on your toes that reads as luxe and playful, that works even for the less frivolous of us. It’s a subtle addition that makes enough of a statement as soon as you step foot in a room. Much like the worn out Birkin look circulating on the internet, wearing a diamond (or even Swarovski) stone on your toes echoes an unmistakable nonchalant attitude.

Sure, putting a diamond so close to the ground you walk on can feel intimidating. But if you’re already baring your feet to the world, why not put a ring on it?
